What's the preferred trail cam?

I've had really good luck with my covert 60hd, a bit expensive but is working great.

I am using wildgame innovations and have pretty good luck with. I got 11 of them right now.

which models do you have?  I just ordered three from Dick's sporting goods for $49.99 each.

If I remember correctly they are the blade 5 or 6. I got them from dicks also for that price so they must be the same ones. I got 5 of them. And my buddy has like 10. I also have 6 of the lights out model

The wildgame cams aren't waterproof though are they?

I'm liking the Browning Strike Force HD's I picked up for $110.

I liked these a lot in the summer and killed 2 during trapping season. They couldn't hold up to the constant wet. Most of the people who like the Wildgame cams are on the east side or don't use them in the west side winter. A friend killed one in a month on this side.

I didn't leave any of my blade's out during the winter. They went through a couple heavy rain storms during the summer and fall and held up. I had 4 of my lights out cams this winter. I haven't had any issues with any of them until last weekend. One off them is acting up on me and won't turn off. This was after a big rain and wind storm. Haven't looked at since I pulled it off the tree.
And I am on the east side

I have tried a lot of brands, currently running wildgame innovations, stealth cam, primos, Moultrie, cuddeback. by far my best camera is the cuddeback, by far best picture quality and gets fogged up the least in crappy weather, and trigger speed. done buying all the other junk  cameras as soon as they crap out I'm replacing them with cuddeback

I got a wildgame innovations I have yet to put out. I'm waiting on getting a security box not so much for anti theft but a little more weather cover. I think I'm going invest in some climbing sticks and get it up high. I went cheap to start so if I do get burgled I'm not out hundreds of dollars.

Thanks for all the reviews and that DIY mount looks easy enough! The trail cam pro website has some good reviews as well. Has anyone had problems with the aggressor getting messed up by the rain on the west side?

Im not on the west side, but weve had our share of snow, single digit temps and rain here since i started testing them out this summer.  No weather seal problems.

Nope.  They've been hanging outside all winter.  Wet side.

I believe reply # 126 , 136, and 144 on page 6 of my eyes in the woods thread have aggressor pics.  Theyre the ones with the square orange bushnell logo in the bottom left corners.  Leaping doe, yotes, turkey, coug etc.  The coug night pic gives a good idea as to the high level of illumination you get.  And for the record i regularly get animals triggering my cam at more than double the advertised detection range.

I run Bushnell and Wildgame Innovations.  I'm not a fan of Wildgames' setting for 15 seconds trigger time.  That's ridiculous.  I miss too many animals.  With that said, here's a couple pics from my back yard cam:

I use the cheapest StealthCam and it is a brick poophouse. Takes OK pics and vids (what would be expected for the $ and a little more).
Have gotten some of the nicer models and they take great pics and vids but all bricked within one season. One melted from a short and lucky it didn't start a forest fire that would give the anti-hunters some ammo.

So, I went ahead and bought the Bushnell Aggressor 14MP in brown from Outdoor Trail Cams through the Amazon website. With the lock box and python lock it was ~$205, free shipping and came in two days! Cant wait to get it out in the woods!
The thing that sold me was Bango's pic of the jumping doe on the eyes in the woods thread!
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Theyre good cameras.  Ive been hoarding bushnell x8s, an old 2012 model, cause i couldnt find anything that worked as well, but these new aggressors i trust.  Just found a good deal on the old x8 cams.  http://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Bushnell-X-8-Trail-Camera-6-MP-Deer-Scouting-Camera-Model-119327C-/301829500694?nav=SEARCH

I run a lot of these and have put them on the same tree as a browning strike force and its eye opening to see how much stuff the brownings miss that these get.  I just replaced batts in one of these after 13 months, but it was still taking pics.  For anybody wanting a new cam but wanting to save a few bucks compared to the aggressors id highly recommend picking up one of these.  I still have a few in the package ive been hiarding away, thats how well they work
